October 5, 2017

You’ve seen them on Instagram—the impossibly blue lagoons of Iceland, the northern lights in Alaska, the glass igloos offering Greenland tourists a clear view of the vast night sky. Cold-weather destinations have been receiving serious destination vacation hype, and for good reason!

Aspen, Colorado

If you’re looking for a quintessential wintery destination complete with the charm of a small town, Aspen, Colorado, can’t be beat. From access to multiple ski resorts and outdoor skating rinks, to world-class restaurants and shopping, there’s plenty to keep you busy.

Fairbanks, Alaska

Check an item off your bucket list on your Fairbanks, Alaska, honeymoon. Home to the world’s greatest natural light show and the World Ice Art Championship, there’s plenty to see during your stay from day to night.

Reykjavik, Iceland

Planning an international winter honeymoon? Believe it or not, the famous hot springs of Reykjavik, Iceland, stay between 98 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit, making a trip to this winter honeymoon destination a no-brainer. Get to know the friendly locals in town before cuddling up for a can’t-miss sunset view for a truly romantic getaway.

Patagonia, Argentina

Do you want a winter honeymoon during our summer? Consider Patagonia, Argentina, where glacial mountains and frozen lakes take over the Torres Del Paine National Park. Resorts nestled in the middle of the territory make it easy to plan an adventure complete with horseback riding and trekking through the frozen landscape.

Whistler Village, British Columbia, Canada

Heralded as one of the best vacation destinations year-round, Whistler Village in Canada’s British Columbia is an ideal winter honeymoon destination to add to your list. The charming small town is great for all winter sports and activities, so it’s perfect for couples who love a little friendly competition before cozying up by the fireplace.

Charleston, South Carolina

For those of you looking for a winter honeymoon destination without the chance of a blizzard, enjoy the cool temperatures sans-snowfall in Charleston, South Carolina. The romantic city dons its most festive decorations around Christmastime, so you can enjoy the twinkling lights from the quaint comfort of a horse and buggy ride down King Street.

Tops Picks for Outfitting your Winter Honeymoon

More and more couples have been eschewing the typical beach bungalow honeymoon for a chilly romantic adventure, and in the process have uncovered tons of travel treasures that make it easy to plan a getaway of your own. Don’t know what to pack? Look no further than our top picks from Macy’s for any winter honeymoon destination:

3. Samsonite Spin Tech 3.0 Expandable Carry-On
Pack a carry-on and save yourself the stress of potential international baggage mix-ups or lost luggage. This Samsonite Expandable Carry-On is scratch-resistant, lightweight and comes in 3 colors so you and your honey can mix or match! Not to mention, the swiveling wheels make for smooth transport through airport terminals and snowy walkways.

7. Samsonite Set of 3 Travel Compression Bags
While we’re on the subject of packing, don’t underestimate the packing power of compression bags. These airtight and waterproof travel buddies let you pack twice as much, which is extremely helpful when your packing consists of mostly puffer jackets and long underwear.

12. Women’s UGG Harnir Pom Pom Slippers and Men’s UGG Scuff Slippers
Slip into wool-lined bliss at the end of every romance-riddled day. Even the chilliest of temperatures are no match for you, and with a rubber sole, you can wear them straight to the fire pit, the hot tub (hello waterproof technology), or even the bar—we’re not here to judge.
